Consideration was given to the report of the Borough Solicitor as contained on pages 51 to 59 of the Book of Reports that gave details in relation to the Independent Person Protocol as set down at 16.5 of the Constitution.
The Borough Solicitor proposed that, as the role of the independent person was firmly established within the statutory regime, that the Standards Committee received reports when changes are made to the document rather than an annual review.
RESOLVED (A) That the Independent Person Protocol, attached at Appendix 1, be endorsed.
(B) That the Independent Person Protocol shall not be brought to the Committee for routine annual review.
